Manu Chao & Radio Bemba Sound Systems "Por el suelo" tabbed by Hannes Jandrens. IMPORTANT: This is the version from the album "Radio Bemba Sound Systems" and NOT the from the album "Clandestino". Different chords are used in this version. I couldn't find a tab for this amazing version of the song, so i decided to work it out myself. The sequence of the chords doesn't change throughout the song, but there are variations which fret the chords are played, i recommend starting with Dm on the 5th, C on the 3rd and A# on the 1st. That's also how the intro starts. Play a reggae rythm. Dm C A# e|--5----------3-----------1------| B|--6----------5-----------3------| G|--7----------5-----------3------| D|--7----------5-----------3------| A|--5----------3-----------1------| E|--5----------3-----------1------| Intro: Dm C A#

For those of you who enjoy going a little more into detail, these are a few tips to help get the proper sound... The difficulty of playing the song in a way to make it sound "right" lies in the slight strumming variations (try to underemphasize the high e- string most of the and the differences of how long a chord is damped. this is to give you a an idea of how the song is played, as mentioned hit the strings even though you shouldn't hit all the strings, it's still better to always use barree chords to get the damping right. d = downstrum shortly sounding d' = downstrum slightly longer sounding D D D D' D D D D' D D' D D e|----5-----5------3-----3-----1-----1-----1-----1-----| B|----6-----6------5-----5-----3-----3-----3-----3-----| G|-x--7--x--7---x--5--x--5--x--3--x--3--x--3--x--3-----| D|-x--7--x--7---x--5--x--5--x--3--x--3--x--3--x--3-----| A|-----------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------| go like this all the way throughout the song, also try to play the C chord on the 8th or fret or the A# on the 6th fret or the Dm the basic way from time to time... -> gives variations. don't follow this description too strictly, try to follow it a few times and you'll get feeling for the variations yourself. I hope this helped and you can enjoy this great song as much as i do!!! Have a good time playing, Hannes Jandrens. :)
